Fall fun 10/8/2011

Saturday we went to a cook-out/hayride/whatever you want to call it with my friends David and Heather and their kids. As always, it was so much fun. David is just as bad of a driver as I am so we made it to Washburn, TN in record time. LOL. I figured out where Union County, Luttrell, Grainger County, and some other places I have never heard of was. It surprised me how long Tazewell Pike is and where all it took you. Heather took some really good pictures of Addison while we were on the hayride. The boys weren't able to come since it was Jonathan's weekend. I'm starting to notice that this year he has them on all the fun weekends. I got lucky last year and it fell that I had them on all the perfect days. :(

Isn't this pic so sweet?!!

Me and Addison on the hayride

She had so much fun. :)

I don't do good trying to pull off the pucker look. I look like I'm holding my breath. LOL

Me and Heather on the hayride. She hates having her picture taken.

Not a fan on the horse. She didn't care to pet it and even walked right up to it...definately did not want to sit on it tho!

Obviously the pictures are a little out of order. She peed on me during the hayride so that's why her clothes are different the rest of the time. Heather's fault! :)

Cinderella Prelim 9/24/2011

We had our first Cinderella pageant of the season. The open prelim at Bearden Middle School. It was actually really fun. Mom, dad, Blake, Ryan, Justin, and Tia got to come out and watch Addison during the pageant. She did amazing! She didn't see everyone at first so during the casual wear she just kinda stood there but when we went back on stage for her party wear she finally saw everyone and started waving and smiling. That made the judges say "ah" so jackpot! :) She won "Best Overall!" She got a sash, trophy, crown, and a cute embroidered bag. Victory! LOL Next month she's going to be doing her first semi-glitz pageant. (Will totally be blogging about it of course!) Here's some of the pics from the Cinderella pageant. Enjoy!
She loves the trophies she gets. She already can tell when she wins because she starts smiling and reaching for the trophy and poses for the camera. She's such a ham. :)

Her sash

Her bag. It's a drawstring bag and will totally come in handy for future pageants to keep her stuff in.

Her 2nd Cinderella trophy. Yay!

I'll add some more of her casual outfit and stuff when I get them from Tia and Amanda. Here's the overall winners.

This was just a picture of her Sunday with Papaw. :)

And I finally caught Eli in a mood to take a picture so I said ca chow! LOL

Busy busy weekend again. But AWESOME!

Saturday was crazy! We had to be in Jefferson City for a softball tournament to benefit the Children's Miracle Network. It was so much fun. We won 2 out of 3 games and actually did really good. I was the catcher for 2 of the games and absolutely loved it! I had forgotten how much I missed and loved softball. Softball was my life untill I had kids and then I pretty much quit and I missed it so bad. My dad and Chuck played with me.

Then I had to rush home and get ready for my 10 year class reunion. We started off at The Square Room at Market Square then went over to Latitude 35 for a little while. We danced all night long and I had so much fun. It was nice to see people that I hadn't seen in 10 years and had forgotten how much fun I had in high school. I love these people and hope that we can always stay as cool as we have been. Some of them I don't see very often but it felt like I had just seen them the day before. It was an amazing night. (For warning...some of these pictures are taken with my phone so they're VERY blurry.)

Dancing at Latitude 35

This one is extremely blurry but I remember it was funny so I had to add it. :)

Me and Amanda on our way to the reunion all dressed up. We looked awesome if I do say so myself. :)

Of course this one had to be dark. :( This was at Market Square before going into the reunion.

I just thought this one was funny. We didn't wait on the flash.

I don't drink beer so that makes this even funnier. :) Some how none of those were mine. LOL

I'm sorry...I look butt naked. :(

Michael was awesome! :)

One of my good friend's I had when I was in elementary school. When I saw him I didn't get a "Hey I haven't seen you in 10 years!" Instead I got a "Hey, I heard you were related to Andrew Gouge." LOL I was like thanks...lol

Needless to say I felt like I did 5 hours of Zumba when I woke up Sunday morning. Then Sunday afternoon I had another softball tournament. I played catcher again so when I got home, and today too, I hurt all over. I don't think there's a part on my body that DOESN'T hurt. But it was an amazing weekend and I'd take the hurting all over again!
